1 Introduction
1.1 Abstract
This document contains lists of substances that are restricted to use in products or in
the manufacturing of products supplied to Ericsson. It also contains substances
under observation and substances with reporting requirements.
1.2 Purpose
The purpose of The Ericsson Lists of Banned and Restricted Substances is to ensure
that Ericsson is fulfilling our sustainability policy, existing and anticipated
environmental legislation and market requirements.
1.3 Application
The requirements are applicable in the design, at purchasing and manufacturing of
components and products, including batteries and packaging. The requirements
shall be applied globally.
The substances listed in this document are restricted, under observation or shall be
reported in the following exemplified usages:
– Components, parts and finalized products
– Packaging
– Batteries; and
– In the manufacturing processes.
22 General
2.1 Banned and restricted substances
Banned and restricted substances shall not be intentionally added for use in the
specified applications. Further details and thresholds on some of the restrictions can
be found in section 4 of this document.
In case local or regional legislation goes beyond the requirements in this document,
such legislation must be followed, in addition to the requirements in this document.
2.2 Substances with reporting requirements
2.2.1 Conflict minerals
Suppliers are expected to, upon request; declare the use of certain substances. This
includes reporting of due diligence activities relating to conflict minerals and the
smelters used to process these minerals. For details regarding conflict minerals, see
section 4.1.
2.2.2 REACH candidate list
Suppliers shall report any content of substances on the REACH candidate list (as
defined in section 2.4).
2.2.3 Additional substances
In accordance with Ericsson´s Supplier Environmental Requirements suppliers shall
also be prepared to declare the material content of products delivered to Ericsson.

2.3 Substances under Observation
Any use of substances in the List of Substances under Observation in Ericsson
products cause concern. Thus, substitution of substances under observation is
recommended when technically, economically and environmentally feasible
alternatives are available.
3No end date is set for when, or if, the substances under observation will become
restricted or banned.
2.4 Definitions
CAS number is a numerical identifier assigned to chemical substances by the
Chemical Abstracts Service.
Conflict minerals shall have the meaning as defined in section 1502 of the Dodd-
Frank Act and include columbite-tantalite (coltan), cassiterite, gold, wolframite or
their derivatives. Common derivatives of these minerals are tantalum, tin, tungsten
and gold.
Dodd-Frank Act refers to the US Dodd-Frank Wall Street Reform and Consumer
Protection Act. Section 1502 contains requirements on Conflict minerals.
Global Warming Potential (GWP) as defined in Regulation (EU) No 517/2014 of
the European Parliament and of the Council of 16 April 2014 on fluorinated
greenhouse gases and repealing Regulation (EC) No 842/2006.
Montreal Protocol refers to the UN Montreal Protocol on Substances that Deplete
the Ozone Layer, entering into force on 1 January 1989, and its following revisions.
Nanomaterial has the same meaning in this document as defined by the European
Commission Recommendation of 18 October 2011 on the definition of nanomaterial
(2011/696/EU). In this nanomaterial is a natural, incidental or manufactured
material containing particles, in an unbound state or as an aggregate or as an
agglomerate and where, for 50 % or more of the particles in the number size
distribution, one or more external dimensions is in the size range 1 nm-100 nm.
IUPAC, the International Union of Pure and Applied Chemistry.
REACH Candidate list refers to the list of substances of very high concern (SVHC)
from which the substances to be included in Annex XIV (list of substances subject to
authorisation) are selected. The candidate list is published by the European
Chemicals Agency (ECHA) and updated regularly.
REACH Regulation is the European chemical regulation covering both substances in
products and substances on their own, Regulation No 1907/2006 of the European
Parliament and of the Council of 18 December 2006 concerning the Registration,
Evaluation, Authorisation and Restriction of Chemicals (REACH).
Substances in products are substances that if used will become a part of the final
Ericsson product.
Substances in production are substances used as intermediates or as an aid in the
production of products, components or parts.
43 Lists of substances
3.1 General
The structure and grouping of substances in the Ericsson lists of substances are in
accordance with the standard, Material Declaration for Products of and for the
Electrotechnical Industry, IEC 62 474. The scope of the Ericsson lists of substances is
wider than the IEC standard and contains additional substances.
In the naming of substances IUPAC terminology have been used. When there is no
CAS number in this list all substances within the substance group are covered, the
reason is that no exhaustive list of CAS numbers for some substance groups exists.
Indicative lists are available and can be used as an aid, for example the Reference
substances in the standard IEC 62 474.
For details on the specific restrictions see section 4 of this document.

104 Further details
This section contains further details concerning restrictions, requirements and
applicable exemptions.
4.1 Conflict minerals
Ericsson is affected by the disclosure requirements in Section 1502 of the US Dodd-
Frank Act and the disclosure rule adopted by the US Securities and Exchange
Commission (the “SEC”) relating to Conflict minerals.
All Ericsson’s suppliers are required to establish due diligence processes consistent
with the OECD Due Diligence Guidance for Responsible Supply Chains of Minerals
from Conflict-Affected and High-Risk Areas, or equivalent processes if agreed upon
by Ericsson.
As part of their due diligence process, suppliers shall make it possible to reasonably
verify whether Conflict minerals contained in products sold or otherwise provided to
Ericsson originate in the Democratic Republic of Congo or an adjoining country or if
there is reason to believe that the Conflict minerals may have originated in such
country or countries and whether the Conflict minerals directly or indirectly finance
or benefit armed groups in such country or countries. An adjoining country is for
these purposes a country that shares an internationally recognized boarder with the
Democratic Republic of the Congo.
Suppliers shall identify smelters in their supply chain through the latest version of the
EICC-GeSI Conflict Minerals Reporting Template. Suppliers are also recommended
to use conflict free smelters when possible.
Suppliers shall, upon Ericsson’s request, promptly provide information as requested
by Ericsson on the use and origin of Conflict minerals (including whether the Conflict
minerals directly or indirectly finance or benefit armed groups) contained in products
sold or otherwise provided to Ericsson and on actions taken to verify the origin of
used Conflict minerals and due diligence activities performed.

Unless otherwise stated by Ericsson the exemptions in Annex III of the RoHS
directive, 2011/65/EU, and its amendments may be used.
Suppliers shall phase out the use under exemptions when technically and
economically feasible, however no later than 12 months before the exemption
expires. After this deadline products and parts using the exemption shall only be
delivered if specifically ordered by Ericsson (e.g. for use in spare parts or for capacity
expansions).
